Found this on a tape I must've recorded in the early 90s.
1994, DJ Astor, Loops of Infinity radio show, on Hot FM, specifically mentions this:

It had Here's Johnny on it, which I think actually made it into the charts in Oz. It did better than that, it made it to number 1 with no radio support...
"In January 1995, the song was released in Australia and debuted at number 40 on 22 January. With no radio support, the song rose up the ARIA Singles Chart, reaching the top 10 in February. On 5 March 1995, the song climbed to number two, where it stayed for three weeks. Afterwards, "Here's Johnny" ascended to number one on 26 March, staying there for six weeks in total.[5] In doing so, it became the first dance song to top Australia's chart without any support from radio.[6]"
"Here's Johnny" ended 1995 as Australia's 14th-best-selling single and earned a platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipping over 70,000 units.
